# WLED vs TslaScreen

The clearest difference is rating: TslaScreen at 5.0 against WLED's 3.5. TslaScreen also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). WLED's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TslaScreen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WLED asks for nothing beyond the download.

TslaScreen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WLED has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of WLED's written reviews are positive against 40% of TslaScreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WLED ships an update every 2 months, TslaScreen weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
